INTRODUCTION The Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual Conference of ChIA contains the addresses and awards given at the conference held at Carleton University May 14-17, 1987, together witha representative selection of conference papers, a listing of the panels and workshops presented, and abstracts of those papers which could not be included in their entirety. The success of the Fourte--" Ch LA Conference was due largely to the efforts of the Co- Chairs of the Conference Committee, Barbara Garner and Alan Mc Lay; to the work of the Paper Selection Committee, Ben Jones (chair), Glenn Clever, Sally Horrall, and Robert Lovejoy; and to the support given to the Conference by Carleton University. Pctblication of this volume has been made possible by grants from The Growing Child Foundation and from Dyson College of Pace University and by the support services supplied by Purdue University and the Department of Literature and Communications of Dyson College, Pace University.

You must remember that I was finishing a three-year term as ChLA's Treasurer, so almost everything looked relatively easy in comparison.Still, had I not had a fairly good idea of what I would talk about here, I would have found this feature of the presidency a major roadblock to my candidacy.But I knew. I knew I would talk about how special this organization is to me because of the many dose friends I have rJade by being involved in it.I knew I would talk about the importance of friends who are colleagueswho think seriously about children's literature, who give it major importance in their professional and personal lives, and who love to talk about it with anyone, but especially so with someone who feels as strongly about it as they do.I knew, finally, that I would talk about specific individuals and their contribution to ChLA. For when I think of the Children's Literature Association, actual faces and voices come to mind, and I remember unique gifts of time and talent that these very real people have made to the growth and development of this organization.I remember conferences at Storrs, Ypsilanti, Harvard, Toronto, Minneapolis, Gainesville, Edmonton, Charlotte, Ann Arbor, Kansas City, and Ottawa, and I remember stories about the conferences I missed at Williamsburg, Philadelphia, and Baylor.I remember Newsletters, Proceedings, Quarterlies, Touchstones, as well as a variety of other publications in diverse formats.I remember award and scholarFhip winners and countless stimulating papers.I remember over fifty officers, board members, and committee chairs inrashing through countless weighty issues facing the association. In essence, I remember what my good friend George Shannon calls "Cha La." A few years ago when he joined, he startled me with this pronunciation

    Children’s Literature in Education DOI 10.1007/s10583-016-9279-1 ORIGINAL PAPER ‘‘What is the Use of a Book Without Pictures?’’ An Exploration of the Impact of Illustrations on Reading Experience in A Monster Calls Jen Aggleton1 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract This article examines the effect of Jim Kay’s illustrations on the experience of reading A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. The author compares the responses of six Key Stage Three children (11–14 years old), three of whom were given an illustrated version of the text, and three a non-illustrated version. The children with an illustrated copy engaged with the text more deeply and critically than the others. They were also more likely to relate the story to their own lives. The illustrations were found to work alongside the participants’ own visualisations rather than replacing them, and opened up further possible interpretations rather than limiting them. The illustrations did not appear to have influenced the partici- pants’ overall enjoyment of the book, nor did they significantly alter the readers’ views on key themes and ideas of the text. Keywords Illustrations Á A Monster Calls Á Reading Experience Á Literacy Education In 2011, Walker Books published A Monster Calls, a young adult novel written by Patrick Ness, based on an original idea by Siobhan Dowd, who tragically died from cancer before being able to write the book herself. Dowd’s publishers asked Ness to fulfil the original concept, and commissioned Jim Kay to illustrate it.

This concept has gained momentum in the midst of fake allegations during the Brexit vote and the 2016 American presidential election, so much so that The Oxford Dictionary elected it word of the year in 2016. Formerly referring to the lies at the core of political scandals1, the term “post-truth” now describes a situation where the objective facts have far less importance and impact than appeals to emotion and personal belief in order to influence public opinion2.

  • Maternal Activism
    1 Biography as Philosophy The Power of Personal Example for Transformative Theory As I have written this book, my kids have always been present in some way. Sometimes, they are literally present because they are beside me playing, asking questions, wanting my attention. Other times, they are present in the background of my consciousness because I’m thinking about the world they live in and the kind of world I want them to live in. Our life together is probably familiar to many U.S. middle-class women: I work full-time, the kids go to school full time, and our evenings and weekends are filled with a range of activities with which we are each involved. We stay busy with our individual activities, but we also come together for dinner most nights, we go on family outings, and we enjoy our time together. As much time as I do spend with my kids, I constantly feel guilty for not doing enough with them since I also spend significant time preparing for classes, grading, researching, and writing while I’m with them. Along with many other women, I feel the pressure of trying and failing to balance mothering and a career. Although I feel as though I could be a better mother and a bet- ter academic, I also have to concede that I lead a privileged life as a woman and mother. Mothers around the world would love to have the luxury of providing for their children’s physical and mental well-being. In the Ivory Coast and Ghana, children are used as slave labor to harvest cocoa beans for chocolate (Bitter Truth; “FLA Highlights”; Hawksley; The Food Empowerment Project).

  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.
